Just Rockstar being lazy, a text file for the train shows quite a lot of extensive detail as to what it can do, the carriages would rumble, stop at stations, announce the station, have lights in the coaches, have pedestrians inside, have the doors beep, and more, but I assume they cut it so they can scam you with DLC, or just scrapped it and threw in flatbeds and box carriages. I don't know if this is 100% true, I'm just going by game data files, but no other GTA game had such a system (train-wise, not subway-wise). Can the train even become a dynamic object? If so, PC mods can make it de-rail, it does have a handling line anyway (all scripted vehicles do though).

You mention coaches, do you mean the tram or did they cut a full sized passenger train?

Passenger train.

I was hoping for a passenger train, but now that it seems they cut it I hope it returns later in a DLC

Why would you want it as DLC? DLC is a scam, you shouldn't find it acceptable to pay for cut content. They should give it to us for free.

Oh, to those who are interested in looking at the train data, you can find it in common\data\levels\gta5\trains.xml

There's also another file called traintracks.xml in the same place, it lists the trains speed and breaking distance (probably at a station), what annoys me is how "StopAtStations" is only on "true" for multiplayer. Why do trains only stop at stations in multiplayer? I'm a single player only gamer, and all we get is some generic train that follows a scripted path non-stop. One other thing, what exactly does Rockstar mean by "isPingPongTrack"? Every train line has it on false, but I don't get what it means...

There are free DLC. Getting it later is still better than never getting it. To me it seems that they cut some stuff so they wouldn't have to delay the game again and are planning on releasing it sometime in the future. But I do agree we shouldn't have to pay for what's already there/ what was there.
